Connection (any?) between Polly murder and Bryant&May strike on east end ?

[Gene Lewis]

i was just wondering on the fate conflict between the matchgirls demonstrations in Bow and the crime scene nearby… could Polly attend to these happenings on the Esat End ?

PS : read "date conflict", not "fate conflict". (That's not more obvious i suppose)...

No evidence of any connection between Mary (Polly) Ann Nichols and the striking matchgirls. As a drunken prostitute, her interests lay elsewhere, namely with obtaining the money for a bed for the night as clearly shown by her actions and statements on the fatal night. If I were to be facetious about it, the only vague connection that we might make would be between the idea of a flaming match and the fire in the docks that night.
